This Golden LEAF grant will support the purchase of equipment needed to create an ammonia refrigeration program. Ammonia refrigeration is an integral part of many industries in NC and is used commonly by pork/poultry and food processing businesses and in the biotechnology industry. The program would benefit North Carolina industries that use ammonia refrigeration, including Prestage Farms, Smithfield Foods, Carolina Turkeys, other food processing facilities, and biotech companies.
